POWER OF THOUGHTS CHAPTER 4


For the practice of concentration and meditation:

silence,
solitude,
regularity,
guidance and
company of the awakened and illuminated soul is very essential.

It must be realised that thoughts are means of externalization and objectification of the Universe. Thoughts activate and express themselves in us through ‘I’, ‘Me’ and ‘Mine’. When our thoughts are spiritualized by mediation, ego consciousness is transmuted into Divine Consciousness, and our mind works in tune with, and as an instrument of the Divine Will.

Determination and persistent striving is needed to build up the desired character, which is the deciding factor to resolve all issues and problems of life – good or bad – and make or mar life.

The circumstances, environment and fate are the materialisation of our own thoughts, and we have no right to put the on us of our miseries on other. Peace and prosperity can be ensured for the entire humanity only by generating a new thought-force. Propagation of teachings and philosophies of Saints and ‘God-men’ will go a long way towards the creation of sublime world of grace. One should also cultivate the habit of reading the literature and writings of holy men to purify one’s thoughts.

Thoughts are the cause or seeds of all our physical actions, emotions and impulses. So, if we want to change our life, character and fate, we have to strike at the very root and transform our thoughts for the betterment, through:


- sublimation of our consciousness,
- faith in God,
- meditation on His Name,
- company of Enlightened Souls, and
- Grace of the Guru.

In this way, our own life, as well as the civilization of the world, can be sublimated and ushered into the Divine Realm.
